**Jammy / Linux Mint 21.3 — 470-server regression remains unresolved** Following the restoration of the regular NVIDIA 470 packages in Jammy (`470.256.02-0ubuntu0.22.04.6`), I checked the current situation on my previously affected system.
System: - OS: Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon / Ubuntu Jammy - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (Kepler) - Working driver: NVIDIA 470.256.02 - Installed package: `nvidia-driver-470-server` - Installed version: `470.256.02-0ubuntu0.22.04.1` Current APT policy reports: ``` nvidia-driver-470: Installed: (none) Candidate: 470.256.02-0ubuntu0.22.04.6 nvidia-driver-470-server: Installed: 470.256.02-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Candidate: 470.256.02-0ubuntu0.22.04.5 ``` The problematic `470-server` transitional version is therefore now the preferred candidate in both jammy-updates and jammy-security, despite the restoration of the regular 470 driver. My initial `apt-get -s dist-upgrade` showed no immediate NVIDIA package changes, so I cannot claim this particular system was about to break. However, none of the installed NVIDIA packages were held, and the newer transitional version remained the preferred candidate. As a precaution, I have now placed all 22 installed `470-server` packages on hold, including their i386 libraries, DKMS components and Xorg driver. This preserves my currently functioning installation but leaves me dependent on manually maintained package holds. I appreciate the work that went into restoring the regular NVIDIA 470 packages. However, the `470-server` transition appears to reproduce the same underlying problem identified in June: an apparently valid upgrade path leading toward driver branches that do not support Kepler hardware. Could the maintainers please clarify: 1. Whether the `470-server` packages for Jammy and Noble will also be restored rather than remaining transitional. 2. Whether the published transitional versions can be withdrawn or superseded to prevent further regressions. 3. Whether affected users should eventually migrate from `470-server` to the restored regular `470` packages, and what the supported migration procedure would be. My system remains functional, and I can provide additional package information or perform non-destructive verification if helpful.
